Purchase Option: (a) Provided Lessee is not in default or breach of the Lease or
any other material present or future obligation to Lessor, its successors or
assigns, Lessee shall have the right at the expiration of the Term, upon 60 days
prior written irrevocable notice, to purchase all, but not less than all, of
Lessor's right, title and interest, in and to the Equipment, for the Equipment's

basis; and (iii) costs of removal from the current location shall not be a
deduction from such valuation.
Renewal Option: Provided that Lessee has given 60 or more days' prior written
notice to the Lessor or Assignee, and no Event of Default has occurred or is
continuing hereunder, Lessee may renew all, but not less than all, of the
Equipment subject to this Equipment Schedule at a Fair Market Value renewal rate
for such term. Failure to give such notice means that the Lessee shall continue
to pay the Basic Rent until sixty days after such time as notice is given.
Buyout Option: Provided Lessee is not in default or breach of the Lease or any
other present or future obligation to Lessor, its successors or assigns, Lessee
shall have the right on the 49th Basic Rent Date to purchase all, but not less

This Lease shall immediately terminate upon the exercise of the Buyout Option
and the payment of all amounts due in connection therewith.
Return Conditions: In addition to the provisions provided for in Section 17

notice of Lessee's intention to return all, but not less than all, the Equipment

Equipment Schedule, and the term of such Equipment Schedule shall automatically

if Lessee has given Lessor notice of Lessee's intention to return the Equipment,
Lessee shall provide to Lessor a detailed inventory of all components of the

a listing of model and serial numbers for all hardware and peripherals
comprising the Equipment; (ii) where applicable, a listing of all software

equipment and related software must be returned with the then current
engineering level and/or software version. Lessee shall cause the software to
qualify for all applicable licenses necessary for its operation for its intended
purpose and ensure the transferability of all licenses to any prospective
purchaser of the equipment from Lessor.
Within sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease, if
Lessee has given Lessor notice of Lessee's intention to return the Equipment,
Lessee shall, at its expense, provide or cause the manufacturer(s) to provide to
Lessor (i) one set of service manuals and parts lists for the Equipment, (ii)
one set of cable plans indicating the allocation of cabling and wiring delivered
with or becoming part of the Equipment, if any, (iii) one set of operating
manuals detailing the Equipment configuration, operating requirements, and other
technical data concerning the set-up and operation of the Equipment, if any,
(iv) one complete set of "as installed" drawings (including any applicable
blueprints) for the Equipment; and (v) one set of warranty manuals and related
maintenance records for the Equipment (these documents should include
replacements and/or additions thereto such that all documentation is completely
up to date).
Not more than thirty (30) days prior to the de-installation, crating and return
of the Equipment, Lessee, at Lessee's expense, shall cause the manufacturer(s),
or other persons expressly authorized by the manufacturer(s) or Lessor (such
authorization not to be unreasonably withheld by Lessor), to inspect, examine
and test all equipment, material and workmanship of the Equipment. If during any
inspection, examination and test, any of the equipment, material or workmanship
is found to be defective, then Lessee shall cause the manufacturer(s), or other
persons expressly authorized by the manufacturer(s) or Lessor (such
authorization not to be unreasonably withheld by Lessor), to replace or properly
repair (using generally accepted procedures) such defects. Repairs shall include
the replacing of any cracked or broken faceplates, wires, cable, etc.
Lessee shall have the manufacturer(s), or their authorized representative,
de-install, crate and load all Equipment (including all wire, cable and mounting
hardware) onto a carrier approved by the manufacturer(s) in accordance with the
manufacturer's specifications should manufacturer provide such service;
otherwise such de-installation shall be managed by an expert in such work
appointed by Lessor, or it's Assignee and reasonably acceptable to Lessee, and
paid for by Lessee. As part of the de-installation process, and to be included
with each piece of equipment, Lessee shall have each item of Equipment returned
with a field service report stating that the Equipment has been properly
inspected, examined and tested and is operating within the manufacturer's
specifications and that all up-grades that have been offered by the
manufacturer(s) for both the hardware and software that are necessary for
operation of the
4
<PAGE>
Equipment for its intended purpose have been incorporated into the Equipment and
these shall remain and become part of the Equipment. The field service report
shall be deemed to satisfy Lessor, or it's Assignee, that, at the time of the
Equipment's shipment back to Lessor, or it's Assignee, the Equipment has met the
return requirements outlined herein.
Lessee shall provide for the proper transportation of the Equipment in a manner
consistent with the Manufacturer's recommendations and practices to as many
locations as necessary within the continental United States, as Lessor shall
reasonably direct.
Lessee shall obtain and pay for a policy of transit insurance for the redelivery
period in an amount equal to the replacement value of the Equipment and Lessor
shall be named as the loss payee on all such policies of insurance.
Provided Lessee has complied with the requirements above and 95% (based on
Original Equipment Cost) or more of the equipment has been returned to the
location(s) directed by Lessor, Lessee's rent payment obligation and all other
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the noncompliant Equipment
(payment obligation based on Lease Rate Factor applied to Original Equipment
Cost of noncompliant equipment and not with respect to any other Equipment under
this Equipment Schedule or otherwise) shall continue from month to month
notwithstanding any expiration or termination of the Term until, at the sole
discretion of Lessee, (i) Lessee has cured such noncompliance with respect to
the applicable Equipment, or (ii) Lessee has paid Lessor an amount equal to the
stipulated loss value of such Equipment due to such noncompliance. Until such
time that Lessee delivers 95% or more of the equipment to the location(s) as
directed by Lessor, this Agreement shall continue on a month to month basis at
the Monthly Lease Rate factor multiplied by the full Lessor's Cost as provided
herein.
Subject to Lessee's reasonable security and production procedures, Lessor, at
his sole discretion, from time to time, shall be able to inspect (or have the
equipment inspected by an authorized manufacturer's representative) the
equipment at the Lessor's sole expense. If any discrepancies are found as they
pertain to the general and operating condition of the equipment, the Lessor will
communicate these discrepancies to the Lessee in writing. The Lessee shall then
have thirty (30) days to rectify these discrepancies at his sole expense. The
Lessee shall pay all actual out-of-pocket expenses for the re-inspection by the
Lessor appointed expert of the Equipment with respect to which such
discrepancies were found and documented, if corrective measures are required.
Subject to Lessee's reasonable security and production procedures, Lessor shall
have the right to attempt the resale of the Equipment from the Lessee's location
with the Lessee's full cooperation and assistance for a period of one hundred
twenty (120) days prior to Lease maturity; provided that any out-of-pocket
expenses in connection therewith shall be for the account of Lessor.

before the First Basic Rent Date, on and as of the Commencement Date with
respect to such Equipment Schedule, to adjustment based upon an increase or
decrease in the yield for the three year Treasury Note (November 2006 Three Year
